Generals of the Great Song Dynasty.

Summary

The chapter describes how Wang Ning An, through his efforts, was able to produce cheap and high-quality glass mirrors that disrupted the copper mirror market. The mirrors were much cheaper to produce, with a diameter of up to 1.5 feet, and could be decorated more elaborately than copper mirrors. This caused a drastic drop in copper prices, much to the dismay of those who had invested in the copper trade. The chapter also touches on the personal reflections of Zeng Gong Liang, who felt a sense of relief in acting on impulse once more, and the reactions of other characters like Tang Jie and Jia Chang Chao.
